This game had a lot of juice to it last year. This year, not so much. Central Hardin lost too many of its heavy hitters from that team, while North got a lot of its heavy hitters back. Give me the Trojans by 4-5 scores.

Central Hardin graduated a massive senior class. Meanwhile, North Hardin returns majority of an extremely tough defense as well as some pure athletes on the offensive end. It's a rivalry game so anything can happen. However, I do not believe we will see an upset this year. I'll take NH 35-7.
